Gemini Receives CFTC License for US Prediction Markets

Özet

Gemini, a cryptocurrency exchange, has received a license from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) for its affiliate, Gemini Titan, to operate a designated contract market. This approval, which concludes a regulatory process initiated in March 2020, allows Gemini to offer event-based prediction markets in the U.S., enabling users to speculate on outcomes in areas like sports and politics. Following the announcement, Gemini's share price surged nearly 14% in after-hours trading. The company views this as a key step in its strategy to build a comprehensive crypto super app and expand its derivatives offerings. Despite the sector's growth and investor confidence, evidenced by platforms like Kalshi securing significant funding, prediction markets face regulatory challenges from some states that view them as unauthorized gambling operations.

Gemini,‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ a cryptocurrency exchange, got the green light from the regulator to introduce prediction markets in the U.S. This is a notable development in the company’s business operations. The Gemini Titan, an affiliate of the company, was granted a license for a designated contract market by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, which makes it possible for the company to provide the clients with the trading of event-based contracts. After the news was made public, the price of Gemini’s shares went up by almost 14% in the after-hours trading and reached $12.92 per share, while the market was not doing well ‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌earlier.

Five-Year Journey Culminates in Market Entry

The‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ approval of the license marks the end of a detailed regulative procedure which, as per Gemini CEO Tyler Winklevoss, had started in March 2020. American users will be able to purchase event contracts via Gemini’s online platform, thus they will be able to speculate on various outcomes such as sports and political events. Besides that, the exchange is willing to expand its derivatives portfolio by adding crypto futures, options, and perpetual contracts for U.S. traders.

Gemini President Cameron Winklevoss was upbeat about the industry’s potential, indicating that prediction markets might become as large, or even larger, than traditional capital markets. The optimistic outlook of the sector comes as a result of platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi experiencing record-breaking trading volumes in November, thus indicating the increasing consumer interest in event-based wagering.

Kalshi recently secured a massive $1 billion funding round, thus reaching an $11 billion valuation and thereby demonstrating investor confidence in the prediction market sector. ‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌

Regardless,‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ the sector encounters some problems related to regulations as several state authorities have escalated enforcement actions against CFTC-regulated platforms that are accused of running unauthorized sports betting operations. Those opposing the idea say that these platforms are just gambling services, and this raises questions regarding the protection of consumers and regulatory supervision of the new market segment.

The Gemini prediction markets proposal is to be seen as part the overall strategy of the company to build a comprehensive crypto super app with various financial products. The crypto company founded by billionaire twins Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, the firm is a potential competitor to other crypto platforms which are gradually becoming more than just trading services. Recently, Trust Wallet unveiled its prediction markets feature, and Coinbase seems to be working on a similar platform in collaboration with ‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌Kalshi.

The Bitcoin Playbook To Know: Step 4 Says A Crash Is Coming, But Where’s The Bottom?

A crypto analyst's six-step framework, based on the 2021 market cycle, suggests Bitcoin is approaching a critical phase. According to Merlijn The Trader, BTC has already completed the distribution, small consolidation, and redistribution phases. The next projected step is a significant price crash into an accumulation range between $45,000 and $59,000, representing a potential decline of 24% to 42% from current levels near $77,500. However, a key condition exists: if Bitcoin can maintain a weekly close above the $78,000 level, this deeper correction phase could be skipped entirely, allowing the cycle to advance directly toward re-accumulation and a potential future rally.

147 Trillion vs 70 Billion: The Rise of On-Chain 'Risk Managers' and the Potential Dawn of a New Era in DeFi Asset Management

"147 Trillion vs 70 Billion: The Rise of On-Chain 'Risk Managers' and the Potential Dawn of a New Era in DeFi Asset Management" Key Points: The role of professional asset managers is emerging in DeFi, ending the era where protocols and governance dictated everything. While early DeFi protocols like Aave and Compound bundled risk management within their code, innovations like Morpho have separated infrastructure from risk judgment. This allows specialized "Risk Managers" to operate independent lending vaults, acting as on-chain asset managers. The market, though early with ~$7B in assets under management (AUM), is rapidly consolidating around top performers like SteakhouseFi (RWA focus), SentoraHQ (AI-driven models), and Gauntlet (crisis management). This modular structure mirrors TradFi's division of labor: distributors (e.g., exchanges) source capital, Risk Managers design strategies and set standards, and underlying protocols handle custody and execution. For traditional asset managers, this familiar structure presents clear entry paths: 1) **Distribution**: Partnering with Risk Managers as a backend service. 2) **Supply**: Bringing real-world assets (RWA) on-chain as collateral. 3) **Operation**: Becoming a Risk Manager themselves (e.g., Bitwise). The core competency required is shifting from coding to traditional risk underwriting and financial expertise—areas where established institutions hold a natural advantage. While the current DeFi market (~$80B) is minuscule compared to global asset management (~$147T), it represents a significant growth runway. The teams that build the trusted standards and rails for risk-managed capital now are poised to define the market's future as institutional capital seeks secure on-ramps.

Sui Launches Gasless Stablecoin Transfers, Supported by Fireblocks

Sui has officially launched "Gasless Stablecoin Transfers," a new protocol-level feature enabling users and enterprises to send supported stablecoins on Sui without paying gas fees or needing a separate SUI token balance. As the feature rolls out, stablecoin transfer fees on Sui are now effectively $0. Major stablecoins like USDsui, suiUSDe, AUSD, FDUSD, USDB, USDC, and USDY are already supported. This aims to simplify payments and remove a key barrier to mass adoption: requiring users to hold another token for gas. The enterprise platform Fireblocks, securing over $14 trillion in digital asset transactions, has integrated the feature in advance, enhancing institutional accessibility. Other wallets and custodians are also set to support zero-gas transactions. Sui co-founder Adeniyi Abiodun stated this brings Sui closer to being a global payment rail. Fireblocks' Ran Goldi noted it removes a major friction point for businesses building on-chain payments. This is a permanent structural change to Sui's mainnet, not a subsidy. It positions Sui as low-cost infrastructure for enterprises, traders, and AI agents. Sui's stablecoin transfer volume has surpassed $1 trillion since August 2025, with its architecture supporting high-frequency payments. Recent growth includes three SUI Exchange-Traded Products (ETPs) launching in 2026 and the expansion of major stablecoin projects like USDsui and SuiUSDe on the network. Zero-gas stablecoin transfers are now being gradually deployed on the Sui mainnet.

Major AI Collaboration Breakthrough! Stanford and NVIDIA Jointly Eliminate AI Communication Overhead, Boosting Reasoning Speed by 2.4x

Title: AI Collaboration Breakthrough: Stanford & NVIDIA Eliminate Communication Overhead, Boost Reasoning Speed by 2.4x A new approach called RecursiveMAS, developed by UIUC, Stanford, NVIDIA, and MIT, tackles the major bottleneck in multi-agent AI systems: the "language tax." Currently, AI agents collaborate by generating and reading natural language text, a slow, costly, and information-lossy process akin to inefficient radio communication. RecursiveMAS bypasses this by enabling agents to communicate directly through their "thoughts"—latent space vector representations—instead of text. Inspired by recursive language models, it treats each agent like a reusable layer in a recursive loop. A special lightweight module called RecursiveLink passes these high-dimensional, semantic-rich internal states between agents. Only the final agent decodes the last latent representation into human-readable text. This process, described as "telepathic" communication, dramatically cuts the overhead of encoding and decoding text at each step. The system is highly efficient; the core AI model weights remain frozen, and only the small RecursiveLink modules are trained, requiring updates to just 0.31% of total parameters. This reduces training costs by over 50% compared to full fine-tuning. Comprehensive evaluations across math, science, coding, and QA benchmarks show significant improvements: - **Accuracy:** Average increase of 8.3%, with gains up to 18.1% on complex math problems (AIME2025). - **Speed:** End-to-end reasoning is 1.2x to 2.4x faster, with greater speedups as recursive depth increases. - **Cost:** Token usage is reduced by 34.6% to 75.6%. The research suggests a new scaling paradigm for multi-agent systems: deepening recursive collaboration depth rather than merely adding more agents. This could address key production barriers like compute cost, latency, and memory limits. However, challenges remain, including the need for independent verification, compatibility between different AI models (heterogeneous agents), reduced interpretability of the "black-box" latent communication, and adaptation to complex real-world workflows involving tools and human interaction. If validated, RecursiveMAS could fundamentally change how AI agents work together, moving beyond inefficient "textual handoffs" to more seamless and powerful collaborative reasoning.
